That is a most excellent example Christoph, really well done :) Over time I've actually come to enjoy this little project more and more, perhaps even more so than the more focused or purpose-driven projects I've done.

Hi Philip,

Just so that you did not think I did not read this, here's one of my countless contributions to the theme... :)

Wow this is such an ominously alluring photo. It looks unreal somehow.

Hahaha this made me laugh. And it reminded me of a long-standing discussion between my German wife and me about the Swedish word "tomten" which can mean two things - "the Santa Claus" and "the garden". The words are homonyms and are pronounced ever so slightly differently and she always claims that there is no difference at all.

You're really putting that old dog to good use Wayne. This is lovely.

beautiful detail, with the flare adding to the content..

Strange that these cars all have an axle spring problem on the same, the  left side....😯 . Well spotted, bo-sixten... I wonder why I didn't see that when in L.A..... Please don't tell me.

very nice shot!

Not sure what NPL is, since you're using Delta. Do you mean NLP (Neg Lab Pro)? Or is it something else? thanks.

thank you bags for noticing--it´s of course NLP..... I copy the neg with my ( otherwise undershot )Canon D5 IV; than try to invert the greys... finally I´ll have to remember the "Lab Rules" that were stuck onto the wall long time ago: If anything fails, go to the manual... 🤔

wonderful, Rog. I don't know if you move the LR sliders a lot--but the atmosphere of the lagoon stories if of a coherent surreal quality...

very elegant, Philip. Who could resist the bark of a birch in wintertime... such a beautiful tree and  useful. Our guide while snow shoeing in Lapland introduced us into fire making with the help of the skin of the  outer layer of the tree...

wonderful series, Wayne. As you so accurately remarked,   life is composed out of a lot of mundane moments. Your pictures with the ultimate point and shoot camera show this really remarkably. 

btw: I´m always impressed by the size of your donuts...

October snow again.. the Summaron is not exactly flare resistant--but let me consider it a feature...😏

View from the "Rosengarten" looking  east. In the far distance to the right you can see the "Marmolada" , the highest mountain of the Dolomoti Range, 3343 m. It´s in Italy and you can see the Marmolada from Venice --100 km-- on a clear day..

on the other hand, the Summaron is really very sharp. I don't know if it would stand the test of a M 10M, but on film...

Honestly, unnerving to me, too. Calls to mind Coppola's Conversation audio surveillance, eavesdropping on a party that's not a party, Scratchy dialogue, dropping out, attenuated by electronic crackle, COVID-19 artifact. The deserted beach, the light, how Fuji Natura 1600 sees the planet. It looks like one half of a 1950's 3D postcard, and we're getting only half of the story. The hint of those pastel colors, almost looking hand-colored courtesy of Marshall's pigment. Thanks for coming to the "party."

Thanks, Dr. Klaus. I tipped the contrast and black slightly, but it's basically what Fuji Natura does. This roll was probably only a year out of date. No color tinkering.  It was very late, warmish overcast, shooting with shallow DOF. I couldn't resist this red/yellow/cyan scene in the wild. Notice that they're all bundled up, even though I think it was fairly warm.

As has been remarked above, Wayne, these little vignettes of everyday life are adding up to a rich and precious account of rural life in the American heartland. And this one is surely a still straight out of "The Straight Story".

Thank you Ken, I really like mistakes like this. In fact I like all my bad exposures so much that I've made a special, never-ending project about them: 

https://philipus.com/bad-pictures

 

 

Oh! OK I missed this the first time round, and thank you Christoph for reminding us to follow this link (and for your wonderful "bad" picture which really is... er... a pile of crap except it's not). Oh that my bad (or good!) pictures were as good as any of these! Because even though they may miss the cut as in the final edit (and many, many of them, like Christoph's, shouldn't IMO) they are, at least to my eyes, universally interesting. Call it the "snapshot aesthetic" - hell, call it any art-wank term you want - but these little moments that happened in front of Philip's eyes caused him to raise the camera and take a shot - and so many of them have layers of context that turn them into fascinating little subliminal sideways glances into life. Much like the territory I believe Lee Friedlander and perhaps Garry Winogrand were exploring back in the 60s and 70s. OK, sometimes they are not quite in focus or a head is cut off or there is a lot going on. So what? I see in them, generally, humour and an affection for human foibles - they are little vignettes that build a picture of Philip and where his interest and sensibilities reside. A wonderful page. A brave photographer might make a book of "bad pictures".
